Barrier free tolling on the M50 motorway in Dublin has become operational after the highly anticipated system was activated just after midnight.Motorists can no longer pay at the toll plaza for using the section of road between Junctions 6 and 7.
Vehicles will instead pass full speed under a gantry, which will collect their tolls electronically.
Motorists must either carry an electronic tag, pre-register to pay automatically, or post-pay the following day in order to avoid penalties.
The first motorists to use the system said they welcomed the changes, although some said they were still unsure about how to pay.
